A risk when using gas injection to core out coolant channels in glass fibre reinforced components is that glass fibres may protrude from the inside wall of the part and later detach themselves from the plastic during service, causing damage to pumps and/or valves.
Engel will be demonstrating the result of a project with Phoenix Automotive, a subsidiary of ContiTech, which combines its multi-material Combimelt and water-assisted injection Watermelt processes to produce a lined pipe branch which both removes the risk of detached glass fibres, and also improves the chemical resistance of the inside wall to the coolant.
The process will be demonstrated on stand …
